Read the full NTSB narrative
THE ACFT MADE A HARD LANDING AND BROKE THE FRONT CANARD AFTER BOUNCING ON TOUCHDOWN AND DRAGGING THE LEFT WING. THE PILOT HAD BEEN INFORMED BY THE TOWER THAT BLACK SMOKE WAS COMING OUT OF THE ENGINE. THIS TURNED OUT TO BE FROM AN EXCESSIVELY RICH MIXTURE. THE PILOT LATER STATED THAT HE WAS NERVOUS PLUS THIS WAS HIS FIRST LANDING IN THIS ACFT. HE FURTHER STATED THAT HE COULD NOT SEEM TO GET THE PROPER ACFTATTITUDE FOR LANDING. THE PILOT WAS NOT INJURED DURING THE LANDING.
